Spirit 4K® High-Performance Film Scanner with Bones and Datacine® Product Data Sheet Spirit 4K® High-Performance Film Scanner with Bones and DataCine® Spirit 4K Film Scanner/Bones Combination Digital intermediate production – the motion picture workflow in which film is handled only once for scan- ning and then processed with a high-resolution digital clone that can be down-sampled to the appropriate out- put resolution – demands the highest resolution and the highest precision scanning. While 2K resolution is widely accepted for digital post production, there are situations when even a higher re- solution is required, such as for digital effects. As the cost of storage continues to fall and ultra-high resolu- tion display devices are introduced, 4K postproduction workflows are becoming viable and affordable. The combination of the Spirit 4K high-performance film scanner and Bones system is ahead of its time, offe- ring you the choice of 2K scanning in real time (up to 30 frames per second) and 4K scanning at up to 7.5 fps depending on the selected packing format and the receiving system’s capability. In addition, the internal spatial processor of the Spirit 4K system lets you scan in 4K and output in 2K. This oversampling mode eli- minates picture artifacts and captures the full dynamic range of film with 16-bit signal processing. And in either The Spirit 4K® from DFT Digital Film Technology is 2K or 4K scanning modes, the Spirit 4K scanner offers a high-performance, high-speed Film Scanner and unrivalled image detail, capturing that indefinable film DataCine® solution for Digital Intermediate, Commer- look to perfection. cial, Telecine, Restoration, and Archiving applications.

Now the Spirit 4K® system offers a quantum leap in performance, with a maximum native resoluti- on of 4K and with native 2K scanning available in real time. The Spirit 4K system is available in two basic versions: a high performance film scanner connected to a DFT Bones open post-production system via a high-speed Infiniband interface, which can be upgraded to a full- featured system that includes interfaces for standard- and high-definition (SD and HD) video; and a Data- Cine® which includes SD and HD video outputs and which can be enhanced with a Bones system, including 4K/2K high speed Infiniband data interfaces.

  • Problems on Video Coding
    Problems on Video Coding Guan-Ju Peng Graduate Institute of Electronics Engineering, National Taiwan University 1 Problem 1 How to display digital video designed for TV industry on a computer screen with best quality? .. Hint: computer display is 4:3, 1280x1024, 72 Hz, pro- gressive. Supposing the digital TV display is 4:3 640x480, 30Hz, Interlaced. The problem becomes how to convert the video signal from 4:3 640x480, 60Hz, Interlaced to 4:3, 1280x1024, 72 Hz, progressive. First, we convert the video stream from interlaced video to progressive signal by a suitable de-interlacing algorithm. Thus, we introduce the de-interlacing algorithms ¯rst in the following. 1.1 De-Interlacing Generally speaking, there are three kinds of methods to perform de-interlacing. 1.1.1 Field Combination Deinterlacing ² Weaving is done by adding consecutive ¯elds together. This is ¯ne when the image hasn't changed between ¯elds, but any change will result in artifacts known as "combing", when the pixels in one frame do not line up with the pixels in the other, forming a jagged edge. This technique retains full vertical resolution at the expense of half the temporal resolution. ² Blending is done by blending, or averaging consecutive ¯elds to be displayed as one frame. Combing is avoided because both of the images are on top of each other. This instead leaves an artifact known as ghosting. The image loses vertical resolution and 1 temporal resolution. This is often combined with a vertical resize so that the output has no numerical loss in vertical resolution. The problem with this is that there is a quality loss, because the image has been downsized then upsized.

    A R R I T E C H N I C A L N O T E P - 1013 USA TV Ground Glass Markings Summary This note describes the frame outlines relevant to shooting film for television in the USA. The Important Frame Outlines to Know Both the markings on the ground glass and telecine calibration films are based on international standards that assure that an object framed in a given spot through the viewfinder will appear on that same spot in telecine. When shooting for television, one should be familiar with the following frame lines: Camera Aperture TV Transmission TV Safe Action TV Safe Title (not shown on most ground glasses) Please note that the frame outlines pictured above are for a Super 35 ground glass, and will be slightly different for other formats. Also note that TV Safe Title is usually not shown on most ground glasses. Full Aperture Corresponds to the full amount of negative film exposed. Caution: most ground glasses will permit viewing outside of this area, but anything outside of this area will not be recorded on film. This outline is usually found on ground glasses, but not in telecine. TV Transmission The full video image that is transmitted over the air. Sometimes also called “TV Scanned”. TV Safe Action Since most TV sets crop part of the TV Transmission image, a marking inside of TV Transmission has been defined. Objects that are within the TV Safe Action lines will be visible on most TV sets. This marking is sometimes referred to as “The Pumpkin”.

  • FILM FORMATS ------8 Mm Film Is a Motion Picture Film Format in Which the Filmstrip Is Eight Millimeters Wide
    FILM FORMATS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8 mm film is a motion picture film format in which the filmstrip is eight millimeters wide. It exists in two main versions: regular or standard 8 mm and Super 8. There are also two other varieties of Super 8 which require different cameras but which produce a final film with the same dimensions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Standard 8 The standard 8 mm film format was developed by the Eastman Kodak company during the Great Depression and released on the market in 1932 to create a home movie format less expensive than 16 mm. The film spools actually contain a 16 mm film with twice as many perforations along each edge than normal 16 mm film, which is only exposed along half of its width. When the film reaches its end in the takeup spool, the camera is opened and the spools in the camera are flipped and swapped (the design of the spool hole ensures that this happens properly) and the same film is exposed along the side of the film left unexposed on the first loading. During processing, the film is split down the middle, resulting in two lengths of 8 mm film, each with a single row of perforations along one edge, so fitting four times as many frames in the same amount of 16 mm film. Because the spool was reversed after filming on one side to allow filming on the other side the format was sometime called Double 8. The framesize of 8 mm is 4,8 x 3,5 mm and 1 m film contains 264 pictures.
